yeah, you

update, in brief:

weekend w/mah peeps - awesome
st. pat's w/mah other peeps - awesome, but rainy
chemo - done, long day
tomorrow - work
me - tired, but can't sleep
steroids - suck
easter - too soon after st. pat's, but i get to see my family sooner

did you know that easter has not been this early since 1913 and will not be this early again until 2160?

even more remarkable, no one alive today has ever, or will ever celebrate easter earlier than march 23. the last time easter fell on march 22 was in 1818, and the next time will be in 2285.

kinda cool, huh?

the earliest calendar date on which easter can fall is march 22, the latest is april 25.
easter always falls on the first sunday after the full moon night of the spring season (which is on march 21 this year).

in case you were wondering...wonder no more.


This is a song for every girl who's
Ever been through something
She thought she couldn't make it through
I sing these words because
I was that girl too
Wanting something better than this
But who do I turn to

Now we're moving from the darkness into the light
This is the defining moment of our lives

'Cause you're beautiful like a flower
More valuable than a diamond
You are powerful like a fire
You can heal the world with your mind

And there is nothing in the world that you cannot do
When you believe in you, who are beautiful
Yeah, you, who are brilliant
Yeah, you, who are powerful
Yeah, you, who are resilient

This is a song for every girl who
Feels like she is not special
'Cause she don't look like a supermodel, Coke bottle
The next time the radio tells you to shake your moneymaker
Shake your head and tell them, tell them you're a leader

Now we're moving from the darkness into the light
This is the defining moment of our lives

'Cause you're beautiful like a flower
More valuable than a diamond
You are powerful like a fire
You can heal the world with your mind

And there is nothing in the world
That you cannot do
When you believe in you,
who are beautiful
Yeah, you, who are brilliant
Yeah, you, who are powerful
Yeah, you, who are resilient

Yeah, you, who are beautiful
Yeah, you, who are brilliant
Yeah, you, who are powerful
Yeah, you, who are resilient

Yeah, you, this song is for you
Yeah, you, this song is for you
Yeah, you, this song is for you
Yeah, you, yeah, you
You are brilliant

dedicated to all of the beautiful flowers in my life...
my mother, sister, nieces, sister-in-law, cousins,
my friends, their (many) daughters,

and any woman reading these words.
